One Goddess Shy of the Earth
For my beloved Jennifer Volpe
Born: May 24, 1964 ~ Passed: August 22, 2001
Life, so precious, so brief: Every moment an incredible treasure be it sorrow or sweetest elation ...

EVERYTHING
Every time the sun beams endless ...
Every Spring as valleys sigh ...
Every stroll in mountain old-growth ...
Every cloud in seasoned sky ...
Every songbird unabashed ...
Every crash of azure wave ...
Every petal curling outward ...
Every scorpion dash for shade ...
Every time you shook your bootie ...
Every place you donned the mask ...
Every Easter egg you colored ...
Every costume, every task ...
Every crackle of Flambe firelight ...
Every tender, warm embrace ...
Every burst of snort and laughter ...
Every quickened, urgent pace ...
Every circle drums are calling ...
Every Country Fair ...
Every pyramid erected ...
Every wisdom we will share ...
Every purr of both your kitties ...
Every wag of Olli-Belle's tail ...
Every treasured, dangly earring ...
Every piece of mail ...
Every meal laid-out with loving ...
Every glass we raise ...
Every room you ever passed through ...
Every whispered praise ...
Every hike sojourned, majestic ...
Every hot spring, warming bones ...
Every garden sweetly tended ...
Every fear endured alone ...
Every anger bravely stifled ...
Every slight you chose to ignore ...
Every truth complete, attested ...
Every injustice you abhor ...
Every full moon ascending, breathless ...
Every secret that you kept ...
Every joy bestowed upon us ...
Every time together wept ...
Every marvel at Venus rising ...
Every Goddess conjured ...
Every shooting star we witness ...
Every grace we ponder ...
Every place you tossed your caution ...
Every roaring, seaside shell ...
Every time you said "I love you ..."
Every fond farewell ...

Peace be with you my angel - Laura Lee
